Meetings that are just FYI for me I zone out and use that as mental rest time. And since I WFH, I tend to lay in bed during and just relax

Gosh! I take naps, I watch tv, I cook my lunch, I eat my lunch outside in the sun, I walk, I scroll on my phone, I make my bed, I clean …. Basically, I procrastinate for a little bit. Like 20 min and I come back to work 😂

Citric acid in water. Its a caffeine free way to turn your mind on again

I go for a walk and totally unplug for about 15-30 min. Helps me reset my mind to better think on creative designs

Have to flush your excess toxins in your brain (true story- google it) - take a 20 min nap. Oh, and take an espresso right before, activation time on caffeine is roughly 20 min. How nice 😊

Hello all,

I’m working as a VR designer at a small startup but I’m looking for better opportunities. Could someone from MANGA give referrals? I’m working towards exploring my career in the UI/UX area but have prior knowledge in the 3D design area and have worked extensively with Unity and Unreal Engine and have 2 years of professional experience.

Thank you for your time!

Im currently at a startup that’s in the fintech space. I have about 50-60,000 shares in the company. The thing is, 1) Design is truly only thought about as a UI addition and not thought as a UX need. I don’t have time to research because I’m juggling 8 projects at a time. 2) A new head was brought in without the teams approval 😳. 3) I lost my only candidate because of the ceo forgetting that they approved me for a CONTRACT candidate. Should I leave or stay to work on the culture?

2. Did you design the components and design system?
3. How was your handoff to developers (I've never one that)
4. Wht was the most challenging part of this project.
5. What is something you would re-design if you were to go back.

Hi- I got two raises last year (one with promotion last December). I believe I am underpaid- partly for my own lack of speaking up and negotiating and not making the best career moves.

With current company 3+ years. People are great. Work could be better. 16 YOE. 72k for medcomms. Was told cost of living raise will be in my first 2023 paycheck. But like- I still have 6 months of living to do until then.

Recruiters telling me I should be at least 100k. What would you do?
